  • A trek over frozen ice to the iconic Apostle Island caves in historic Arctic winter of 2014 when over 90% of Lake Superior is ice covered. This is the second highest ice coverage in record history. These images will not repeat probably in many years or my life time. It presents a unique photographic opportunity at close range to scenes of shore cliff and cave not normally accessible even by boat.. http://thespacereporter.com/2014/02/photos-of-frozen-great-lakes-from-space-will-blow-your-mind/
